Today we went for a wander along to the Warren in Folkestone to dig up a few dinosaurs !
The coastline between Folkestone and Dover exposes rocks of Cretaceous age (142-65 million years old), including two rock exposures of particular importance. The series of cliff sections at the western end of the site, with some 50m of Folkestone Beds (Lower Greensand) and Gault, represents the most important single locality for studying these rocks in England.
The Gault Clay exposures in East Wear Bay yield beautifully preserved fossils, including ammonites, bivalves and crabs and have also produced the fossilised remains of a number of types of marine reptiles including turtles, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurus and pliosaurs.

On a rocky beach with crashing waves, a sinister sea monster slithers up among the grassy dunes. Protecting their nests, a few enraged seagulls squawk at him try to drive him back into the sea. Meanwhile, the beast with smooth and shiny skin rears its long neck catching a scent of cooking food. Somewhere not far away, someone is having a barbeque on the sands. They are about to have a rather surprising guest for lunch.
